Guest Post: What’s on in Newcastle this Halloween

With Halloween creeping closer we have an amazing Guest Post today with top places to head this Halloween in Newcastle, from the Newcastle event gurus themselves – Nights Out in Newcastle.

Here at Nights Out In Newcastle we love Halloween, the perfect chance to get dressed up as your favourite horror movie character, super hero or fictional villain and party the night away with friends.

Many will choose to throw their own parties, bob for apples and drink ghoulishly ghastly cocktails at home but for those who want a night out there is an ever increasing number of options available as the popularity of organised Halloween events soar. We’ve looked at the spooky, scary and downright strange goings on in the North East and come up with our ultimate Halloween nights out in Newcastle.

Night at the museum

Newcastle’s Discovery Museum, hosts their annual night of spooky fun on Friday 28th October. This is especially suitable for under 7s, but all children under 12 are welcome. Visitors are encouraged to come in fancy dress for the Fright night fancy dress competition and enjoy the Devilish Disco in the Great Hall.

There’s also the chance to make creepy crafts, decorate the gingerdead, participate in ‘Bugs & Stuff‘ animal handling, explore freaky feely boxes and have a go at Trick or Treat target toss. Then if you’re feeling brave you can listen to bewitching tales and go on a ‘Groan up’ trail.

Tickets cost £5 per child plus £1 per accompanying adult and should be booked in advance.

Pumpkin Patch is great for kids and runs from Saturday 22nd October until Sunday 30th October. Pumpkin Patch rides are available at 9.45am, 10.45am, 11.45am and 12.45pm. Tickets cost £6.50 each for Pumpkin Patch (for one child and one accompanying adult).

The Hillbilly Horror Show trail is definitely more one for the adults as you follow the dark and spooky trail encountering such delights as the Freaky Circus, The Butcher, Creepy Camper and Cabin Fever. You also get to attempt to escape your way through the terrifying maze minus a torch or a map!

The Hillbilly Horror Show trail runs from Saturday 22nd October until Monday 31st October. Walks are at 6.30, 7pm, 7.30pm, 8pm, 8.30pm, 9pm and 9.30pm. Tickets cost £10 and there is a 10% discount for groups of 10 or more if you’ve got a fearless group of friends or colleagues.

All tickets must be booked and are available from Friday 16th September on the website or by phone, 01434 633100 or in the Farm Shop.
